Giavellotto added another prestigious title to his collection

Giavellotto, the dual Yorkshire Cup winner, added another prestigious title to his collection by triumphing in the Princess of Wales's Stakes at Newmarket. Trained by Marco Botti, the talented stayer overcame a 3lb penalty to secure back-to-back Group Two victories under jockey Oisin Murphy.

With six contenders in the race, Giavellotto strategically positioned himself among the frontrunners in the final stretch. While the favoured Hamish struggled and finished fourth, Giavellotto surged ahead in the final furlong to defeat Arrest by three and a quarter lengths.

Looking ahead, Giavellotto will aim for his first Group One win at the Irish St Leger on September 15, weather permitting. Botti expressed confidence in the horse's abilities and versatility, highlighting his improvement and adaptability on varying ground conditions.

After a successful campaign abroad, Giavellotto's focus is now on securing a prestigious victory at the Irish St Leger, with Botti hoping for favourable racing conditions. The Princess of Wales's Stakes served as a promising stepping stone towards this ultimate goal, showcasing Giavellotto's potential and determination on the track.
